A.R.M.S. - Submersed Media Filter

Autonomous submersed media filter for sump systems

Unlike C.A.S.T. and A.L.F.A. the A.R.M.S. is an ideal tool for chemical filtration or for biological filtration requiring submersed media (denitrification for instance) - in both cases usualy under low water oxygen levels. The water running through the filter is not exposed to free-moving air, keeping the water oxygen levels low. Nevertheless, air pump connection to pump water intake is possible for special cases.

Key advantages:

• Easy assembling and maintenance
• See-through design for quick check
• Silent operation
• Air pump ready

A.R.M.S. consists of following parts:

• Multi-purpose adjustable holder
• Multi-purpose plug-in chamber
• Water distribution cell
• Water return tube
• Media cover tray + Tray remover
• Pump: EDEN 114-T1 200-600 l/h - 11 W
• 2 pieces of 100% cotton gloves
• Operating instructions

Optional accessories available.

1 - Sump mount arms

Allow holder vertical adjustment 0 - 15 cm in five 3 cm steps. Each arm is mounted on the holder by means of 2 dogs and 2 M6 plastic bolts.

2 - Chamber holder

The holder consists of following parts:

• Transparent cover
• Front product name plate
• 2 chamber guiding slots with fixation bolts

3 - Multi-purpose plug-in chamber

Inner chamber equipment:

1. Water distribution cell
2. Water return tube
3. Backflow seal
4. Media cover tray
5. Tray remover
6. Return tube filling cover
7. Optional fine-grained media tray

Water distribution cell and water return tube forms one unit (1+2). Freely inserted backflow seal (3) protects the pumps against accidentally sifted media particles.

If lightweight media is used, protective cover tray (4) shall be used to avoid drifting the media pieces into the sump. If fine-grained media is used, Fine-grained Media Tray (7) shall be placed on top of the distribution cell to avoid media sifting.

Curved end remover (5) is designed for easier removing of media cover tray (4).

Return tube filling cover (6) must be placed on top of the water return tube (2) when filling the chamber with the media.

Fine-grained Media Tray

This tray is intended for using with fine-grained media. Hair-inlets are tight enough for any commercial materials used in reefkeeping.
